He gives a soft, lopsided smile at her and teases, "Track record indicates that I always hog the camera," he says with a shrug. Not that anyone here would actually know that, but that doesn't make it any less true. "Not my night. Plus, I had my time already, and a martini with my name on it." He raises his empty glass as some sort of proof of just that.

"Grudge isn't really my thing anyway," Tony wrinkles his noes at the notion. Because 'cross' is strangely not the word he would choose at all. He's not sure what he's ready to call it yet, but he knows that isn't quite right.

"You look good."

"Looks like you've had several martinis with your name on it." she counters with a grin. "And I don't know. I gave you enough props that if any of the sponsors are smart, they'll be clawing at each other to send you gifts."

And that may be part of her intention with all of this.

"Thank you." she says, raising her own glass in toast to the compliment. "You look like a man I'd try to steal from, back in my own reality." That's a compliment too, see. He's a sharp dressed man.

"Why stop at one when there's an entire bar at my disposal?" he thought it was an entirely valid question to be quite honest. What the hell else was he supposed to do, trapped here in this freak show?

He grins at her comment however, and thinks he'd like to see her try. People don't tend to steal from Tony Stark and just get away with it, but there's a compliment there, he's sure of it. So he'll take it with a grin and maybe a bit of a challenge. "I think you'd like my place," he teases. Though not because he doesn't mean it.

As no one seems to be hopping onto the public thread, here's a transition!

Max ain't no ordinary people, of course. Well, at least she'd be wearing a catsuit when JARVIS inevitably caught her, right?

"I think you'd like my place." she teases right back, noting, "It's got a bar, too. Victors apartments are very plush." Her brow raises slightly. Are the cameras watching?

"Would you like to see it?"

"Is this an 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' type deal? Because if it is, I am down." And maybe that's being a little forward, but there's an audience to play to and he likes to think he's being at least a little bit funny. Not to mention that there seems to be a subtle understanding here that there is a lot more to be said without half a hundred cameras in their faces, and so he holds out his arm and lets her lead the way.
